Risk by AgeThe table below shows the percentage of men or women (how many out of 100) who die from lung cancer over different time periods. The time periods are based on the person's current age. For example, 2.2% of men who are 60 years old will die from lung cancer during the next 10 years, that is, by the age of 70. In other words, if you imagine 100 men who are 60 years old, 2–3 will die from lung cancer within 10 years. The risk of death from lung cancer increases with age and is greater in men than in women.
